Happy birthday, you're on fire

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

As I’ve gotten older, I feel like my birthdays have gotten less and less special to me. Then again, I don’t have people lighting me on fire in this (probably fake) celebration of a dad’s birthday.

This should be a ritual for every father’s birthday as a way to give back for all the work a dad does. For example, my dad drank and passed out, so it seems fitting that we would reward his flammable blood with a fire befitting a king. Then we all laugh and applaud as he rolls around trying to put it out with no assistance from the family. It’s a way to show that the father is the alpha male of the family, so he doesn’t need help. Also to provide warmth since he didn’t pay the heating bills. Logic!

What'd you think of this?
